The Grundys look forward to new arrivals, and Helen’s concerned about the neighbours.
Helen and Lee pop round to Joy’s to apologise for Henry playing loud music, but Joy doesn’t mind at all. She gives them an apple pie and when they thank her, she says it’s because she’s got an ulterior motive. Mick’s uncle has given him a hot tub which Mick’s having installed at Joy’s. So there might be a bit of disruption from noisy workmen for a couple of days.
George’s turkey contact Bronco lets him know that his 15 turkey poults are ready for collection. They’re a bit smaller than their regular turkeys, because they’re a slow-growing heritage turkey. George reckons they could charge more for rare breeds, so they’ll make a good profit on them. Eddie and Clarrie are impressed and tell George he’s being very enterprising. But when George collects them, it’s clear to Eddie that they’re not turkey poults – they’re pheasants! Clarrie says it sounds like Bronco’s nothing but a con artist, George has been had. When they question George about Bronco’s whereabouts, George doesn’t have any details apart from his phone number. Quick-thinking George reckons Eddie will still get his money back; George can raise the pheasants and sell them to the shoot. Later Eddie’s impressed when he sees George building a shelter and sourcing food for the pheasants. But he then tells George he’ll need reimbursement straight away for his outlay. When George protests, Eddie threatens to spill the beans about his mistake to everyone. George reluctantly agrees to start paying Eddie back in small instalments and to be at Eddie’s beck and call until the debt’s paid off.
